this is a continuation from the earlier blog...... this morning? i altered the time of entry so they read in sequence....

now where was i? ...... ahh yes anti sociable behaviour and watching the six oclock news in the Red Lion during the charity weekend. It was absolutely shocking and one of the youngsters at the function was prowed because he had been filmed climbing the lloyds bank wall and was sitting on the second story window ledge by his mates and the news article posted earlier showed this.. He was going around pleased with himself that he had now been on the news?

my believe is that the country is in a very poor state and whilst shocking we are lucky as we haven't had any gang fighting and shootings like the ones in the national press lately. you have to wonder why do young adults resort to this and the local evening post is doing a good job highlighting this with some 19 people emailing and commenting on line

I had forgotten something in the house and Amanda said if i was popping home for two minutes could i pop and buy here a lucky dip for the lottery, so off i go and on route to the spar in Hendy i decide to inspect, the bus shelter as part of my gossip and catch up, was the fact that kids had smashed the windows of the bus stop, on driving past theres six youngsters in the bus stop not one over fourteen and there's no suprise they had two full flaggons of strongbow in their possession.

I drive around the square and park by the spar, there's four further boys standing talking and texting on their phone and there's three young girls on the opposite side of the road outside the butchers also texting on their phones, two gents are walking past the six in the bus stop and comment to me as a councillor what are my views and where's the police and out come two ladies and also comment is this village safe to walk any more? ,

I spoke to a fifth resident inside the spar who had also spotted the under age gang drinking on the square and assured them i would phone the police, so i rung the police and got through to Carmarthen. Saturday morning the police rung me back to say when they arrived there wasn't any youngsters out and about on the square, (yet i was told by a further four residents in the village on Saturday) that they had seen them. The villages badly needs some sort of youth community activity to keep these underage youngsters off the street corners. I'm back in the Red Lion by 6.50pm and myself and Amanda stay until 7.30pm before moving on sending our appologies, to deal with other promises made earlier in the day.

..................

Saturday myself and Amanda are up the fishery helping up there, the carp masters qualifier is on, sky sports were filming the event and there was a junior match on?

i spent some time down the lake talking to anglers and gathering photos from peoples digital cameras, my dad catches me down loading the photos to the white springs web pages and face book and because the fishery is busy, he was in a bad mood, stressed

anyway i added photos to the whitesprings face book book topic

below are just two of several added from this weekend of the sky sports camera man and one of the local pontarddulais anglers who had entered the event?

I probably deserved the row off my dad because i was also scanning the angling press into my photo bucket, i had sent a photo to the anglers mail of the 8lb eel, the current uk record is only 11lb 14oz and we understand the monster we had caught at white springs is not far short of the welsh record
